Listen & Spin With The Human League in Mashable's Turntable.fm Room

The weekend — and The Weeknd — are whirring through our veins, and to herald the coming of Saturday, we'll be spinning jams on Turntable.fm with New Wave legends The Human League.

If you're unfamiliar with Turntable.fm, get ready for a litany of bouncing avatars to start haunting your dreams. The startup, which is still in beta, comes from the Stickybits team and is basically like (musical) AOL chatrooms of old — user-created, browser-based chat and listening rooms where “DJs” (a.k.a. you and others) can play songs, vote on how “lame” or “awesome” those songs are, score points for picking good tunes, and chat with others in a sidebar. You can choose songs from a MediaNet-powered library or upload your own. Unfortunately, the site is no longer open to anyone outside the U.S. because of Turntable's efforts to stay DMCA compliant.

We've had a few Friday jam sessions, courtesy of the MuseBox and its bands, and today we continue that tradition with The Human League. The band's new disc, CREDO, dropped this week.
